City Council City of Meridian
The attached wrdten testimony submitted for the Meridian Planning and Zoning Commission public hearing on April 15, 2004
is being submitterd to be included with other testimony for fhe Meridian City Council public hearing scheduled for May 18,
2004 for the purpose of reviewing and considering the application of Packard Acres Subdivision No. 3.
Further comments are warranted and these are expressed here along with any oral testimony that will be made during the
public hearing.
We are reiterating that construction activiites as well as ongoing maintenance activities for Packard Acres No. 3 are not to
impede our access of Wingate Lane to and from our property to Ustick. Authorized vehicles i.e., emergency mail, paper,
garbage, as well as other service delivery vehicles, and family and fiends must be accorded access in accordance with
Private Road Agreement dated July 25, 1813 (copy attached). This document established a private road (1Ningate Lane) 15
feet in width from Ustick to our property ,and we have utilized it to access our property since moving here in 1968.
Since Wingate is a Private Road,construction and maintenance equipment should access Packard Acres No. 3 and other
Packard Developments from public streets in order to keep Wingate Lane open as required and also because of the liability
and safety issues.

Meridian Planning and Zoning Commission
City of Meridian
This is in regard to the public hearing scheduled for April 15, 2004, for the purpose of
reviewing application of proposed Packard Acres Subdivision No. 3.
As residents of North Wingate Lane and since our property is located directly South of the proposed Packard Acres
Subdivision No. 3 we wish to restate our position concerning use, access or development activities that could affect Noth
Wingate Lane.
First, construction activities are not to impede our access of North Wingate Lane to and from our property to Ustick.
Second, any houses built along North Wingate Lane will not have access from the the lane. The property owners on the lane
recorded and notori~d a document on July 25, 1913 establishing this as a private lane and Ada County has already ruled that
no more houses may be built along the lane that would require entrance and exit directly from the lane.
Third, construction equipment will be prohibited from using Noth Wingate Lane to access and conduct development activities
on proposed site.
Fourth, to allow for emergency vehicle access to our property ,North Wingate Lane should be widened to 20' from E. Challis
to our property as was required for the portion of the lane North of E. Challis..Safety and liability issues are a major concern
relative to unrestricted access by emergency and other authorized vehicles.
Fifth, but not necessarily the last, as residents most directly affected by development activities on this proposed site we, as
well as the City of Mardian, other governmental entities, developer, and contractors should hgve detailed knowledge of of
conditions to proceed uvft~i any activities. This could include expected fencing along lane, any sewer, waer, or irrigation
projects inwlving Wingate:Lane. Any other activates inwlving North Wingate Lane should be established and readly available
to all concerned before any activates are approved. Past history indicates need for established guidelines with affected parties
before approval is granted for proposed Packard Aces Subdivision No. 3.
cSi~nce~rpely,
U v-C.`
